"Islamic Jihad Group of Uzbekistan" claims responsibility for US, Israeli Embassy bombings

This seems to be the same group that claimed responsibility for the April attacks. Note that the group's declaration amounts to a declaration of jihad until Sharia is instituted all over the Islamic world. No one seems to know much about this group, or how much trouble they can cause for this relatively moderate land. And Kofi Annan is dismayed, but what is he going to do? From Muslim Uzbekistan:

United Nations Secretary-General Kofi Annan yesterday voiced his dismay at a series of bombings in Uzbekistan against the United States and Israeli embassies, as well as the office of the country's prosecutor. Mr. Annan's spokesman issued a statement saying the Secretary-General "condemns these criminal acts in the strongest terms." Uzbek prosecutor-general Rashyd Kadyrov announced in April the so called "Jamoats" (Communities) were behind Uzbek spring unrest "Targeting of diplomatic missions and civilians is a crime that cannot be justified by any cause," he said.

The blasts in capital of Tashkent reportedly killed two people and injured at least nine others. One of the killed was policeman and another was officer of the National Security Service of Uzbekistan. One of these two was of Russian nationality, according to RFE'RL's Uzbek service broadcast....

Not the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan (IMU) on Friday claimed responsibility for suicide bombings against the US and Israeli embassies, as well as Uzbekistan's prosecutor general's office in Tashkent as i was reported previously, but an unknown group called "Jamoat" according to a statement posted on an Islamist website.

The claim was posted on (http://www.islamicminbar.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=338).

"Martyrdom operations carried out by the group will not stop. They are directed against the injustice of the apostate government and in support of our Muslim brethren in Iraq, Palestine, Afghanistan, Hijaz (Saudi Arabia) and other Islamic countries ruled by apostates," said the statement, signed Mohammed al-Fateh from Bukhara.

This still unknown group ... had previously assumed responsibility for March-April attacks.
